fruit crisp
This is a fast and easy dessert! Everyone thinks I spent all day putting it together. Little do they know how easy it is and, of course, I will never tell... ;) I love doing this with fresh apples from the orchards. You can use any kind of fruit you want and can mix them to get great-tasting flavors. My momma taught me how to cook Southern style, being from the hills of Kentucky. I love cooking and even more, love watching my family eat it all up. I hope y'all enjoy this one!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
What a great, basic fruit crisp recipe. In the Test Kitchen, we used a 16 oz bag of frozen berries and it turned out delicious. The topping is buttery. There's a slight cinnamon flavor but that's not overpowering. It will work with any type of fruit combination you decide to use. A great recipe for a beginning baker. It's perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream but just as yummy on its own.

How To Make fruit crisp
-
Step 1Mix crumb topping ingredients together until crumbly and holds shape when pressed together with fingers; set mixture aside. -
Step 2Mix your fruit and all fruit filling ingredients (any kind you want, if using a fruit with a rind make sure you peel it first apples, peaches, plums, etc.).
-
Step 3For individual desserts (4 to 6 depending on size) spray the bottom of small oven-safe dishes with non-stick cooking spray. May also be made as a single larger one (like a 2-quart baking dish).
-
Step 4Add fruit to the bottom of pans/dishes till about 3/4 full. Crumble topping over top of the fruit.
-
Step 5Bake at 350 for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and fruit is soft when pricked with a fork and well jelled together.
